Discrepancy

There seems to be a dangerous discrepancy evolving over designations.
In recent launches, the designations used vary according to which source 
is accessed.
The  OneWeb launch of July 1 (inc = 87°.4) is called 2021-60xx by 
Jonathan  and Bob,
It's called 2021-61xx by spacetrack and celestrak.
The next launch, Jilin (inc = 97°.5) is called 2021-61xx by Jon and Bob, 
and called
2021-62xx by spacetrack and celestrak.
This disparity needs to be addressed before many more launches continue 
this divergence.
I would like to know which designations should be used when reporting 
observations of
these and upcoming satellites?
best wishes
Russell
